It is interesting that it says "These hunts were pulled before the drawing was conducted, so applicants were not disadvantaged." Seems to me if you wasted your three picks on those hunts, you were disadvantaged, regardless of whether you get the $10 back or not. I tossed the idea back and forth on doing the Tier tag or 14 cow hunts. So glad I didn't go for the 14 cow hunts, but man, I know a lot of people that do. Too bad for them, and the moose. Hopefully they rebound well.

Wow. It's a good decision from a biological standpoint, but if I had applied for three 14A tags I would be pretty upset that I didn't have an opportunity to submit applications for other hunts instead. That's tough to swallow for people that put all their eggs in that basket.

My family had put in for 12 valley antlerless moose tags, so the kids are a bit disappointed. I'm not really worried about the $60. The cool thing is that my girls got drawn for caribou tags that they really wanted. My boy and I were skunked again this year.

The resource comes first. I'm disappointed that I applied for all three hunts within the Valley. So... keeping all my eggs in one basket screwed me royally. Just the way it fell this year. Applied for the last 33 years and didn't get a bison tag either. Just my luck!!! Any other whiners out there???

If a dipnetter dips a fish and there is no one around to see/hear it, Did he really dip?

I think the decision is good but disappointed in not having the opportunity to draw elsewhere (I put in early before a bulk of the snow). 2 of my 3 choices were in 400-410 and my third was Ft Rich with no success. All my other choices were a bust as well --- so 0 tags in 4 years of applying, but always plenty of hunting and success to be had. Congrats to all the winners.
